Though I was impressed by how bad-ass R2-D2 was in this one... he didn't take crap from no one...# :P

I thought that was one of the worst parts of the movie. All of the sudden R2 has a hand, can fly, catch things, and squirt gas.
Makes no sense. R2 could have done without the Jackie Chan scene.
As for the rest of the film, I have mixed feelings. The story and plot were great, but the bad acting and terrible script finds a way to taint major scenes. I just don't get why Lucas can't see what everyone else sees. I wish I could edit this film before it was released and take out some of the stupid parts to keep the whole movie strong. [/b][/quote]
well... R2 always had an arm, the jetpacks were invented in the last movie (but also solved the question on how R2 was able to get up into the X-Wing without the crane seen in Ep 4), catching things was new, but not unreasonable (since he clearly had an arm), and logically, a repair droid would have some fuel on hand. He just found a creative use for it.
I think making him so spry is supposed to show that in the original trilogy, he's over 30 years old. Not as willing to use the jets, jump around and what-not.
